             Summary: Upgrade httpclient dependency
                 Key: HBASE-15767
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15767
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Yu


Currently commons-httpclient 3.1 is used.

This is already end-of-life by apache.
We should move to 4.3.6 or later.

Details:

https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262 : http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http. socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors.

https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2012-5783
Apache Commons HttpClient 3.x, as used in Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS) merchant Java SDK and other products, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain  name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
